...you know, one of my favourite things about Doc Brown is that, in spite of his posturing about the potential consequences of knowing the future and all, he still couldn't stop himself from sneaking a peek at the letter.

I couldn't trust a man who wouldn't try and secure every possible advantage. Leaving things up to fate and the kindness of strangers? Pish. Let fools and Gryffindors do that. Go ahead and break a rule if it stops a passel of nutzos from shooting you down like a dog, I say.
